CitWW: Spring Hill Methodist Cemetery 1860 (Multi) Multi-Cache

This is simple two-stage mulit-cache and another in my "Church in the Wildwood Series" or "CitWW:".

Small country cemeteries are absolutely amazing to me! Visiting them, is like stepping back into another time.

Historically...

Situated on a part of Lot 2, Concession 4, this Wesleyan Methodist Church is listed in a Peel Circuit publication for 1856-67, when their mission contributions totalled 10 pounds, 10 shillings, 3 pence. Names listed were Edmonds, Reid, Garbutt, Cosford, Hanstock, Buck, Bond, Hall, Tanner and Meldron. When one considers the time when these gifts were made, they are quite remarkable and indicate the priority placed on the church by these early settlers. The 1862 Elora Observer commented that the new Wesleyan Methodist Church at Springhill was opened for service. The speakers were the Rev. Mr. James Spencer in the morning and again at 6 pm, and the Rev. Mr. Cosford at 3 pm. At each service the church was filled with at least 400 persons seated on the platforms outside. The building was of brick, with a basement and cost at least $1,400.
The next event seemes to be the church's removal across the township line into Maryborough by a group of Mennonite farmers sometime between 1914 – 1919. However, this Mennonite settlement didn’t last and they returned to Waterloo County. Once more the little church was vacant. In the 1940’s it was moved once again to Palmerston, where it became the place of worship for a newly formed Missionary congregation. When a new church was built, our little church on the move found itself being taken across town to the property of Norwell Secondary School, where it stands today, used for music and drama classes.
There is a tombstone of sad note in the Springhill Cemetery of a preacher who burned to death. It read: Rev. Thomas Garbutt, son of John and Mary, March 19, 1869. Aged 33 yr. 4 months Death was sudden but his plight was burning. A member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. Entered ministry in 1860. His faith was strong, his life brief but with spirit. “Though dead, he yet speaketh”
